Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 173 The next step
Feng Qingyao, who was missed by him, escaped all searches and returned to Yongzhou City.

As night fell, she came to Fuhua Building.

The Fuhua Building, which used to be crowded with people, is now in a state of depression.The seal with the seal of the local government and the black and white letters on the gate is particularly conspicuous.Feng Qingyao went up to check and found that this place had been sealed off as early as ten days ago.

Fuhua building was seized and Yue Fuhua disappeared, so Di Chunqiu's official position should also be lost.

She quietly sneaked into the government office, lifted the roof tiles of the study, and found that the master was still the same master, but the prefect sitting in front of the book case and reading the case by candle had changed.

Di Chunqiu is gone too!
She came to the dungeon again, and the dungeon door was unlocked and not as heavily guarded as the previous time.

Picking up the chain hanging on the cell door, he glanced at it. There were thin streaks of rust on the chain, and the color was not very dark. It should not have been placed for too long.It seems that after Di Chunqiu's accident, my brother will not be locked up here anymore.

Generally, after a new official takes office, how will the empress deal with the criminals left behind by the previous one?
Acquitted?

Still can't find any evidence of crime, just deal with it in secret?

She was a little worried.

In the dead of night, the new magistrate went back to sleep, and she came to the study.The file of the recently closed case has not yet entered the file. She wants to search to see if she can find any clues related to her brother.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed.

I searched all the files in the study, but found no traces related to my brother, but I know that the former prefect Di Chunqiu was sentenced to exile.

At dawn, she left the government office and returned to the inn where she was staying.

She wanted to go back to Tanzhou at dawn, but now she changed her mind.If her elder brother was dealt with in private, the servants in the government office should know more or less, and she was going to find an opportunity to catch one and ask him.

After closing the door, a burst of peppermint aroma entered the nostrils.

"Didn't you be asked to stay in Tanzhou? Why did you come here suddenly?" You knew it without looking, and it took half a mile to find it.

A figure appeared in the empty room, it was Hua Banli.There was guilt on his noble and elegant face, his long eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't do what you asked me to do for you."

Feng Qingyao was startled.

She asked him to go back to Tanzhou to protect his parents' safety, but he said he couldn't!

"What happened?" His voice trembled slightly because of worry, for fear of hearing some unexpected news from Hua Banli.

"Prime Minister Feng, Madam, and Feng Jie and others were dispatched to Lingnan, and they left three days ago." Hua Banli's clear eyes were full of guilt.He had originally inquired about the news that Feng Xiang's family had been beheaded, but he had already decided to rob the execution ground at any cost to keep their family safe.But news came out the next day that beheading turned into exile, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Oh." Feng Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as people are still alive, it's not good.

After thinking about it, he raised his eyes and asked: "There are countless dangers on the way to Lingnan, why don't you follow and protect them?"

"They are protected." He followed the escort for two full days, and two days later, Zhan Wang's men arrived.After confirming that Fengxiang was indeed not in danger, he came to see her in a hurry.After reviewing the case to her, he asked again, "What's your plan for the next step?"

Feng Qingyao sat down on the chair beside her.

Frowning tightly, she really had to think about the next step.

Originally planned to go back to Tanzhou and use Ling Yuyuan's fake death to prove his father's innocence, but unexpectedly, things were far from simple as he thought.It seems that to save the parents, we have to investigate from the Northern Frontier War nine years ago.
